Creating wheels...

hey all,

Novice houdini user here.

I want to create wheels like this for my model car. I made the inner part of the wheel using tubes and the created end caps rounded and scaled back. I want to add the tyre...but how. I firstly used another tube and made it bigger than the first hoping that i could find some function to mould them together using a neat curve...i didnt find it :(

How do i go about it?

Cheers

Oddball

Hey

The easiest would be to draw a profile curve and revolve it.

You can follow that up with a cap SOP to close off the ends if you want. The detail on the tires could either be displacement or modeled, might be easier to displace em though.

Cheers
